'She is completely historically accurate,' one historian told Newsweek.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez prepares to wait tables at the Queensboro Restaurant, May 31, 2019 in the Queens borough of New York City.Rachel Ida Buff, a professor of American studies who teaches history at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, toldOcasio-Cortez was"absolutely" correct to describe U.S. migrant detention centers as concentration camps.
"An initial reaction could easily be to say, 'no, the detention centers at the U.S. border are not the same as the Nazi camps,'" she said. But to say the term applies only to camps set up by the Nazi regime is incorrect and only signals"an ahistorical understanding of the Holocaust," she added. And for the shrieking Republicans who donât know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps.
Amy Simon, Michigan State University's William and Audrey Farber family endowed chair in Holocaust studies and European Jewish history, toldOcasio-Cortez was 'completely historically accurate' in her use of the phrase"concentration camp." While there were"important differences" between Nazi concentration camps and migrant detention centers—such as the historical context, the motivations and the sheer level of horror—"there are also important historical similarities that should give us pause," she said.
As well as"undermining" left-wing voices, they are reserving the Holocaust as"a bludgeon to attack those who disagree with their views on Israel, Iran, or other political issues," he said."They are not trying to educate the public about the Holocaust."
